STILLWATER, Okla. -- Oklahoma State, which has boasted a strong offense all season, can now count on its defense.The defense produced three crucial turnovers that gave the offense the ball in the red zone each time, providing the difference Saturday in an eye-opening 37-20 victory over then-No. 10 West Virginia.After four consecutive wins, the Cowboys (6-2, 4-1 Big 12) have returned to the Top 25 for the first time since their controversial final-play loss to Central Michigan in Week 2, coming in at No. 22. They next face Kansas State (5-3, 3-2) on the road.I think (praise for) our defense was well-deserved, I think they played their best game, said Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy, who earned his 100th career victory Saturday. Our football team is healthy and I feel like their attitude and their chemistry is top-notch and expect them to prepare well for the game against Kansas State.Oklahoma State managed to score 17 points off the three turnovers: a strip sack by Vincent Taylor, recovered by Cole Walterscheid on the West Virginia 8-yard-line early in the second quarter, a Ramon Richards interception returned 59 yards to the West Virginia 9-yard-line with 3:26 remaining in the third and a Kevin Henry interception returned 26 yards to the West Virginia 10 with just 4:17 remaining.The Cowboys now have forced 19 turnovers on the season, ranking fourth overall in the nation. They are seventh with nine fumble recoveries and 21st with 10 interceptions. All of those figures lead the Big 12, as does their overall turnover margin of plus-10.It might be more difficult this week, as Kansas State has turned the ball over just seven times, fewest in the Big 12.You coach it, you emphasize it, the more violently you play and the more hats you get around the ball, and the better you execute, the more turnovers you get, said offensive coordinator Glenn Spencer. Thats a big challenge this week, because they typically dont give the ball to you. Its hard to get the ball back, thats why theyre so tough to beat.The Cowboys have surrendered just 30 total points in the fourth quarter of games this season, ranking 10th in the nation -- and 10 of those came against West Virginia. In five of their eight games, including three in a row prior to Saturday, the Cowboys shut out their opponent in the final period, outscoring foes 66-30.Its (due to) our conditioning, said junior linebacker Chad Whitener, who leads the team with 52 tackles and came up with his first sack of the season on Saturday. Were in really good shape at the end of games and were able to fly around the field and do what we still have to do. Were able to think because were not focused on being tired.Gundy attributes his teams late-game defensive success to its ability to rotate personnel in and out on a regular basis so that the guys on the field remain fresh and energized.I think that the rotation and the depth that we have has helped us up to this point, Gundy said. I mentioned in pre-season that this was the first time that we felt like we could play two defensive lines since Ive been head coach here. Thats been our goal from Day 1, its just taken us a long time to accomplish it. It goes back to the switch we made four years ago in scholarship numbers, allotting more on the defensive side, to try to get to this point. ...

Gerard Pique gave Barcelona the lead at the Nou Camp with a towering header from Ivan Rakitics corner on 56 minutes, but Real swiftly levelled through Karim Benzemas acrobatic volley.Bale then had a goal controversially ruled out, before setting up Ronaldo for an 85th-minute winner to gain revenge for the 4-0 thrashing Barca gave Madrid earlier in the season. Gibson insists the form of Bale and the willingness of Ronaldo to put the team first were the reasons that Madrid left Catalonia with all three points and ended the hosts 39-game unbeaten run.Ive seen signs in recent weeks that Ronaldo is quite prepared to take up a different role in the team, Gibson told Sky Sports News HQ.At the weekend he was really important. It wasnt an eye-catching performance from Ronaldo despite getting the winning goal. What was really noticeable was his willingness to work within a team framework. Terry Gibson What was really noticeable was his willingness to work within a team framework. The tactics Zinedine Zidane employed demanded Ronaldo worked hard defensively and he did that. With him and Bale, they really did carry a threat on the break and they were two really important players for Real Madrid.Gareth Bale was a feature of the game all night long. Down the flanks he worked really hard to nullify the threat of Barcelona and still really threaten on the counter-attack. Cristiano Ronaldo scored a late winner for Real Madrid at the Nou Camp In the build up to the game, there were suggestions in Spaain that none of the Real Madrid famed front three would get into the Barcelona team.ddddddddddddGibson believes this is the case but says the comments would have been used by Los Blancos as motivation.It would have spurred them on but its been hard to make a case. Ronaldo is the top scorer in La Liga but for Neymar, Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez its been a season of success. Gareth Bale set up the winner and also had a goal disallowed If you picked a second string front three from anywhere in the world Bale, Ronaldo and Benzema would be your front three.A lot of motivation would have come from the 4-0 defeat at the Bernabeu so it was a little bit of redemption for Real Madrid.Barcelonas defeat means their lead over Atletico Madrid and Real is now six and seven points respectively. Gibson does not think the result will spread panic in the dressing room but will re-focus the squad for the rest of the season. Gareth Bale thought he had given Real Madrid the lead. Should the goal have stood? Its given Barcelona a little jolt, Gibson added. They werent too fussed about the unbeaten run. It was great for the club to get to 39 unbeaten and ideally they would have liked to carry that on and not lose to Real Madrid.But it will just give them a little bit of motivation and to make them focus a little bit more on the remaining league games and the big game against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League in midweek.
